The QUESTIONABLE CONCEPTS STORE has been updated!
It now obsoletes all the previous stores,
with hundreds of new options! Including BLACK SHIRTS!
(NOTE: the anti-Bush store remains at the same URL of cafepress.com/voteabortion,
But check it out! There's a black shirt there now!)
This is not THE reason my friends rule,
but it sure as fuck is an incredible reminder as to WHY they do.
To them I say thank you, friends.
R.I.P. Freda.
The XOC download page has been taken down.
There are some new MP3s on the XOC MySpace page however.
Stay tuned for a new networking solution. BitTorrent?
The XOC "SMW" album has been completed,
and is available for download at the Internet Archive! It's FREE!
Made a new bands page.
The Best of The Soundry Courter Project Vol. 1 is available now!
Thanks to insidesmusic.com for stepping up to release this first of many volumes. For FREE!
Kraid the Kid!
Click here to listen to his theme.
It's a new year.
It looks as though the videogame-music solo project will be titled XOC,
at least until I think of something else. In any case, there's 6 new tunes available here
and a new MySpace page here.
Three new audio updates for the holidays, each designed for a specific audience:
(1) a cover of the Super Metroid underwater theme, available here;
(2) a startlingly bad medley of "Fuck Christmas" by Fear and
"Run Rudolph Run" by Chuck Berry, brought to you by Recreational Episiotomy; and
(3) a holiday-themed noise collage piece from HEMOSTAT.
Theophagus now has its own store.
The "Cafepress Merchandise In Action" page has been updated and slightly rearranged.
For no particular reason, I added a contact page, and some new links to the links page.
Finally finished this silly thing.
It's pretty much a true story, except the second act, which only happened in my mind.
Added a new bands page that guarantees to be an asspain!
a d d e n d u m 10/10/04 : Scrapped the asspain page. Put in a simpler one. Pow.
Recreational Episiotomy has been in the studio for the past two weeks, recording a new CD.
So far, the direction and approach of the group has changed drastically;
the new recordings are in a grindcore vein,
with considerably less emphasis on atmospheric noise this time around.
Rough mixes of three of the new tracks are available for free on the MySpace page,
with two more available here at the website.
What a pain in the ass.
The list of all the CDs I own has been updated,
reformatted for "Ease of Load™."
And there's a new store for all you Noah Nelson fans.
Coming soon: the Optical Pies website!
Whew! Been a while.
I've been busy working with the Pesadillas website so long,
I've neglected to mention the Rules and Terms of Service for Irresponsible Audio.
I also forgot to mention the new VOTE ABORTION store,
and since it opened, I've actually sold 15 items!
Which means a cool SIXTEEN FUCKING CENTS commission for me--
and that's straight out the door, baby.
So to celebrate, I've added a new Donkey Kong banner,
a new bumper sticker (sponsored by
Recreational Episiotomy),
a new hooded sweatshirt,
new photos in the "friends", "me", and "random" galleries,
plus a NEW gallery of nothing but cats and dogs.
Huzzah, fuckers!
Looks like I've been chosen as webmaster for the
Pesadillas website.
Head on over and check out all the new pictures and non-broken links!
Merry Americanukkah. New nav buttons!
Also added some more randomonium to the
links page,
moved a bunch of stuff to the new/temporary "more" page,
reformatted the experimental instruments pages,
and added the Banter Medley transcription to the "words" (née "Bläther") page.
Check out this page:

I met this guy on the street in Hollywood during the Sacramento [The Band] tour.
He asked for change, I gave him some, and he gave me his "card"--
a website URL scribbled on an ATM receipt (click here for a scan of it).
As far as conspiracy nutter websites go, it's fairly typical--
long pages of rants, weird graphics, and it seems to have an "Enter" button on every page.
I would've mentioned this sooner, but I just rediscovered the thing in my wallet.
Seriously, this shirt will probably not be acceptable to Cafepress
(as it uses the "likeness of a third party"), so I doubt it'll be on there long.
And no, it's not an original joke, and I wish I knew who said it first.
LATER THAT NIGHT:
Added even more banners, bringing the current total to 60.
Added a couple of new, horribly unfunny sponsors,
and 10 new banners. Here's the whole collection.
I also made a new 404 page (with sound),
but accidentally erased the old one in the process, which sucks massive balls.
Perhaps I'll try and recreate it someday.
Alright--I'm gonna try and join the rest of the world,
and actually keep and maintain a Livejournal.
Let's see how long it lasts.
Well, Cafepress went and added a bunch of new merchandise,
so guess who was obligated to churn out some more distorted Photoshoppery?
The Pesadillas store was hit first, with a heavy metal sleeveless, a soccer-style athletic jersey,
a cheaper ninja shirt, an actual piece of shit, some weird-ass shorts,
a do-it-yourself kit for 12 tiny stickers, and an Eminem-farming visor!
And all the Recreational Episiotomy merchandise has been moved to
its new home in the exclusive, brand-new, horrendous
RECREATIONAL EPISIOTOMY store!
Enjoy, or die trying!
Today brings a new feature to Irresponsible Audio:
RUN-ON REVIEWS.
While not exactly an original concept, I attempt to review every CD in my collection,
limiting each album to only a single sentence.
Enjoy this installment, while I figure out how the hell I'm going to update the page:
alphabetized, or new additions at the top? Hmm.
Head on over to the Soundry Courter Cafepress store
to check out some new shirts, in incomprehensibly horrible colors!
Launched the Geocities Recreational Episiotomy site,
with four MP3 downloads!
Also added a Cannabis Corpus page on MySpace!
And as if that weren't enough, the results of my radiology exam
Nothing new to report.
I do take requests.
Guess who I went to go see in Davis last Thursday?
I'll give you a hint: it wasn't The Guess Who.
The "bands"/"projects" page has, once again, been remodeled.
Some deadends remain, but that shall all change,
with the arrival of that special time of year known as "soon."
For now though, check out the new Cannabis Corpus
Doctor Reefmurder assured me that while the long-delayed CD debut
"THE WEEDING" is no closer to being released (at least not until the heat
a 38-song collection of all-new, never-before-heard studio tracks is nearing completion.
Although the new release is not yet titled, he was able to play me some
rough mixes over the phone from his Manitoba hospital bed
("The Carcass Smoked My Balls", "Smoke Some Shit", "Smoking Weed While Shitting",
and "I Got High and Fucked My Lawnmower Up The Ass").
Updates as they happen!
N E W N E W N E W ! !
As you've no doubt noticed, there's a new random banner up above--
one of a brand-new set of forty, actually. Collect them all!
In Cafepress news: since the "babydoll" shirt is currently on sale
(something I have no control over), I've created a new Irresponsible Audio logo! Buy buy buy!
AND, as if that wasn't enough, Cafepress has introduced SHIRTS FOR DOGS!! Holy shit!
So of course, the new logo is now also available for your DOG! Buy buy buy!
AND AND AND, until I come up with some new doggy-style graphics, the classic
Pesadillas "Annie Eyes" graphic is available for Rover as well! Buy buy buy!!
Arf arf arf!!
There's four new additions to the Pesadillas store,
including my attempt to create zoetropes (more info can be found here)
and the all-new easter bunny!
See you in a week!
There is now a new option on the splash page, (under the graphic)
for those of you that were annoyed at this page opening in a new window.
However, keep in mind that the address bar will always read
"http://www.irresponsibleaudio.com", no matter what page you're on,
and that the "domain search" toolbar at the bottom of the screen stays there.
Now you see the reason for the new window, ehhh?
In other news, my compulsive cafepress habits continue.
This has spawned an exclusive A.M.G.M.
slight expansion to the Pesadillas
Caveat Emptor, as always. A lot of that stuff is not meant
to be actually purchased--it's commerce-as-art, damnit!
It's been a week since my computer died. Buying a new hard drive only angered the problem.
So in the meantime, the only thing new to report is a STICKMAN LINCOLN cafepress store.
And here's my new favorite word: "quincunx."
I've begun adding content to the about page,
and the Soundry Courter Project
I'm working with insides music,
Sorry I haven't updated anything lately,
I've been spending most of my time gearing up for Frozen Food Day!
See you at the rally!
Unfortunately, our sponsors are not entirely work-safe. Use caution!
On the way to the old updates page, a couple of updates got lost.
I think the only two things that they referenced were a transcript and a silly webcam.
I also rearranged and expanded the RANDOMONIUM section of the links page,
and added some social commentary. Enjoy!
The SOUNDRY COURTER PROJECT now has its own Cafepress store!
I decided to do what pretty much everyone else does,
and make ONE image for every product. MUCH easier.
There has been a lot of meticulous (read: obsessive) redesigning of this page,
and the addition of a very boring new feature: Cafepress MIA.
But if you've bought any merchandise, take pictures of it and send em in!
They don't necessarily have to be of a thong, either! ...Really!
IRRESPONSIBLE AUDIO is now
AD-FREE.
To offset the $4.95-a-month cost of this luxury,
I respectfully request that the five of you who actually read this site each give me a dollar.
The extra five cents goes to me, compensation for the long hours I intend to put in
redesigning every page to fill the aesthetic void where billboards for online casinos used to be.
In the meantime, I celebrated my new freedom by adding some extra hyphens to those white horizontal lines, and by making this.
late-breaking additions:
There's now an old, grainy picture to go with the Eli story,
the beginnings of the SOUNDRY COURTER FAQ,
and a bunch of random tweakings here and there that you won't really notice.
Oh, and CLOWN.
Another pointless update, just to let you know that the page you're currently viewing
has been renamed from "mainpage2.html" to "menu.html".
I also changed the trucker hat so it can fulfill its destiny as a SOUNDRY COURTER PROJECT item.
Here's a close-up of my semi-clever method of skirting Cafepress' stringent trademark infringment policies.
And yeah, I ordered one.

DESIGN-OUR-SPLASH-PAGE-GRAPHIC contest!
I performed EVAC-X at work yesterday--the 10th time I've borrowed a minidisc recorder (thanks Quentin & Damian)
to record the newest batch of SOUNDRY COURTER songs I have trapped on my work computer.
There are 28 brand-new songs, and they sound kickass.
Anyone who wants a burn, let me know--for those of you keeping track,
this brings the total number of SOUNDRY COURTER songs in existence to
296.
Watch this space.
New hat and bumpersticker designs in the cafepress store.
You are
standing in the
cavern
of the evil
wizard.
All around you are the
carcasses
of
slain
ice
dwarfs.
Melt the wizard.
What do you want to melt him with?
...........
Your
hesitancy has
cost you
dearly.
The wizard, sensing your
apprehension,
unleashes a
fatal
blow from the ice
scepter.
With
luck, you will
thaw in several million years.

I think these newest pages are funnier without any explanation.
So here they are:
#1: neighbortape
#2: answeringmachine
#3: dictionary
And this one is probably better if I explain it:
Driving through Cameron Park on the way to see Steely Dan,
I discovered that Sam's Town had been demolished. I was sad.
Rearranged the pics page, and added some new pics while I was at it.
I'm sure there's an easier way, but for now...
Oh yeah, and I added a bunch of new links a while back as well.
Oh wee oh wee oh.
Added a new graphic to the splash page, but you probably saw that on the way in.
Apologies to anyone who came here looking for MIDI versions of Dan Fogelberg.
Also note the little Irresponsible Audio banner up above--
I finally noodled through how to make it choose
a random one every time the page refeshes.
Collect all 20!
Continually improving a page no one looks at.
Made the NAVBAR above to celebrate the new year.
Just in case you were looking for the NOTES page, it's here,
and can also be accessed through the BLÄTHER page.
Willickers, I'm learning ever so much about the internet!
Turn up your speakers and view THIS thing I made!
AAAAEEEIIIII!!!!
Exclusive photographic evidence of my BABY NEW YEAR costume!
Moved all the "randomonium" content to the links page, where it belongs.
We're gettin' there.
Added a new page, entitled "notes."
Almost like one of those web-diary things, only MUCH dumber.
Inspired by Dave Brockie's STUPID! page.
